Tamar Braxton Teases ‘Love & War’ Single

The outspoken Braxton sister recently inked a solo deal with Interscope Records and now we get to hear a preview of what some of her music will sound like. During a recent visit to ABC News Radio to promote her new spin-off, ‘Tamar & Vince’, Tamar gave fans a teaser of what to expect from her upcoming single, ‘Love & War’ by singing an acappella version of the song.

Take a listen below:

Tamar also talked about her new album and trusting Vince’s decision to push the single back:

On Her New Album
“Honestly, these are great records, and I’m not just saying that because they’re mine. If they were not mine I would want them to be mine. I do feel like this is my best work yet.”

On Trusting Her Husband With Her Career
“I respect him for who he is and the things that he’s accomplished, especially in this music industry. I would be a fool to go against what he definitely believes in his gut.”

Vince On Pushing Back the Single
“It’s still gonna come this year. We just had to regroup and move some things around…but it’s definitely still coming this year.”

Maybe its just me but Tamar’s voice just doesn’t do it for me. I think she tries to do too much, No shade, she doesn’t sound bad at ALL, but her notes be all over the place and just doesn’t flow. Hopefully it will sound better on a record.

I will be rooting for Tamar simply because as a child of the 90’s, I miss talent. I don’t care how over-the-top you are or who you are dating. That drama is not for me. Never thought at the young age of 23 that I’d be saying I miss music from my days but I do. I just miss a SANGING (a)(s)(s) singer, that’s all. I hope Tamar is allowed to deliver in her music and not be “toned” down in sound.

I used to feel the exact same way. you should listen to this group called The Vx, they sing and the music about something! They have a song called “uoneed (nothin)” that is just EVERYTHING!

Tamar can SANG, she just plays around ALOT and make it hard for people to take her seriously. That’s my only issue with her, not taking anything away from her talent. Although I love her carefree attitude, she can be over the top sometimes, and mean to her sisters. But she loves them just as hard. Hope she’s able to get that attitude together.

I 100% agree with what you said I loved the funny making up song about her sisters Tamar, I just don’t like she multiple personalities and the fact she thinks she is gods-gift to the world and her stank ass attitude towards her sister make me want to smack her. she figure since she married someone with money that she as the right to tell people any and everything she wants.

I could never see myself purchasing a Tamar album song free mixtape nothing because like you said I can’t take her serious enough as an artist.

I really don’t see what her looks or her attitude have to do with her actual music but okay. I think the song is dope, I can’t wait to hear the finished product and trust, you think Tamar is a mess, then you really don’t know the massive egos some of these new artists have. Some of them make Tamar seem basic. I guess if you all found that out then you would be x-ing out a lot of people off of your playlist.

I agree. She can definitely sing. That’s it. Just SANG. She doesn’t make me FEEL anything. No goosebumps. No soul. I don’t feel like she means it. She just wants to be a star. The song has potential so I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Tamar can really sing (she was rusty here)…but her attitude just turns ppl OFF she wants to be Beyonce more than Beyonce she’s like 36 or 37 still acting 14…she’s been trying to pop for YEARS! If it doesnt pan out this time maybe she should try something else she’s good for tv but thats bcuz she’s a mess

It is sad that not only is she competing with Toni career wise but also plastic wise..SMH

Tamar can sing but she better bring it! I still don’t think she sounds better than Toni but she does have a voice and I look forward to her new material. If she trying to sing pop like lady Gaga she won’t last and I won’t be checking for that.

Didnt your mama tell you if your not saying something positive, something that can build a person to shut that hole in your face? unless asked and am sure the diva didnt ask, why? becus she doesn know you, hence she doesnt care about your ratchid response. be prepared to hear how huge her album will be September & you can take that to the bank.

Tamar jokes around alot when she sings, so that she can protect her confidence, if ppl didnt like what they hear, so she can say “im just playing anyway”….she is very insecure and protective of her voice…she has the voice , she just needs to relax and not try hitting notes that dont work…listening to this was a turn off of that song…why would they release this?

I was about to say the same thing. It’s obvious that she’s afraid of failure or harsh judgement. I applaud her for Gettin on & singing accapella half these singers can’t do that. I’ll give her shot but she better not come with no booty poppin rachetness, I will not.

FIRST!!!!!!
I didn’t even listen to it yet, but I’m about to. I just wanted to type first.
On another note, the Braxtons are my guilty pleasure. I can’t get enough of them. They have really grown on me. I wish all of them much success. Even though Tamar is a character, they are entertaining.

I dont even think its really about her ruining her body. I just think she doesnt want kids. Period. BUT shes saying she does just to please her husband b/c he wants some…Anyway, love me some Tamar! Cant wait for the album…(and Miguels & Brandys

Do you guys remember a long time ago on an episode of Tiny and Toya, where Tiny asked Tamar to be a guest singer at some benefit she was having and Tamar made a big deal about how she could not sing or be a part of the industry due to her living situation at home (something about she loves to sings but she loves her lifestyle more)?

Looking at her husband, she should have call the song……”Love and Cheeseburgers!”…….”cause he looks like that guy who be with Popeye that always says……”I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today!!”

Yes. You can tell she loves him and she knew him before they started dating and Vince seems like has a nice personality. Like he is the guy you start to like because he is sweet,fun to be around, and can dress nice.

They look good in the pictures, and Vince has lost some weight. I hope he continues to have a more healthier lifestyle. I’m always positive when people open up their personal/private lives. I can’t wait for the show!

Tamar can sing but its hard to take her seriously. I think her time has came and went. On another note i hate to say this but its bothering me lol….Her husband is unattractive on so many levels. I know that is bad to say but idk its the truth.

Why does everybody in here act like this is the finished product? If people say Tamar does not make you feel anything, i bet other great singer will not get you excited as well. See i just like talented people period. Tamar is just really really talented. Listen to finished songs first , before judging on some unfinished product. I like Tamars voice cause it can be all over the place, her range is wide enough to make it that exciting. And she actually sounds the way she really is. I like that… no other Tamar but Tamar. If you want the same ****, just turn on your tv.
